The image captures a street scene in Ciqiku Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. The environment consists of an asphalt road featuring a manhole cover and white pedestrian crossing stripes. To the left, a row of grey brick buildings with traditional Chinese architectural elements and utility poles with exposed wiring are visible. Bare-branched trees line the right side of the street, suggesting a cold season. Three primary figures are present in the foreground. A woman on the left wears a light blue traditional Chinese dress adorned with floral embroidery, a white fur-trimmed vest, and a decorative floral hairpiece. She holds a small, unidentified object in her hands and is in motion, stepping from right to left across the road. To her right, a second woman wears a dark, elaborately embroidered traditional Chinese robe, a long white beaded necklace, and a prominent, ornate golden headdress. She holds two thin, dark implements in her right hand, forming a "V" gesture, and smiles towards the camera. Behind these two, a third individual, partially obscured, wears a dark blue garment and a wide, red conical hat. In the background, several other pedestrians in contemporary winter attire, some wearing face masks, are walking further down the street. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
